Ipswich Town vs Everton LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Portman Road
Everton beat Ipswich 2-0 at Portman Road to secure their first away victory of the Premier League season and leave the Tractor Boys still looking for a maiden win since sealing promotion.
The visitors were clinical with their finishing as Iliman Ndiaye scored in the 17th minute and Michael Keane doubled the Toffees’ advantage five minutes before the break.
Ipswich had wasted a golden opportunity to take the lead through Jack Clarke but he skied his effort high over the bar and they were also denied a first-half penalty when referee Michael Oliver was called to the VAR screen to reverse his initial decision.
Aro Muric was by far the busiest of the two goalkeepers while Everton’s England stopper Jordan Pickford was troubled very little throughout as the well-drilled Everton defence held firm.

The ball is cut back for McNeil on the edge of the box but instead of shooting first time, he takes too long on the ball, and Clarke is able to nick in, win the ball and win his side a free-kick. Brilliant defensive play from the winger.

The start to this match has been very evenly-matched with either side having golden opportunities to open the scoring.

ANOTHER GREAT CHANCE! But this time it's for the away side. Phillips gets robbed off the ball just outside his own penalty area. Calvert-Lewin is through on goal but Muric stands tall to deny him. Ipswich creating their own problems at the back!

WHAT AN EARLY CHANCE! A lovely flowing move sees Hutchinson play through Burns down the right. He drives with the ball before cutting it back for Clarke from just yards out. Unfortunately, he skies his effort over the crossbar!

Davis is back on his feet after being on the end of a challenge from Young. He was key to Ipswich's promotion to the Premier League last season.

There are two changes for Everton from the side that started against Newcastle two weeks ago. Mykolenko has returned from injury, but James Garner is out with a back problem, so Young switches across to right-back. In midfield, Mangala has been replaced by Gueye.
